Lesson 1: Do not obey in advance.
Thread of lessons from my book #OnTyranny. Written in 2016.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

We can't continue using a platform that undermines the very essence of our existence.
We are just a small furry band, but we hold our principles very close to heart, many of which we have poured into our music.
We'll be moving on to Bsky and Telegram: owa.band

Vor 13 Jahren war er das 1. Mal bei mir.
Damals war er 23 Jahre alt.
2,6 Promille hatte er damals.
Er wurde zum Stammgast, verlor Familie, irgendwann den Job.
Neulich kam er, bereits im Leberkoma.
Ein Saufkumpan fand ihn komatös in der zugemüllten Wohnung die sie gemeinsam

Tired? Yes. Happy? Definitely!
Want to see us even more tired and overworked? Then @NordicFuzzCon is the con for you! Details coming in the next couple weeks.

This @eurofurence will be twice as fun:
- Thursday (20:30 Hall 3) we'll play a show to present our first EP, coming out this fall! Special guest: @FoxAmoore
- Friday (14:00 Hall 4) we'll join @FoxAmoore and @whsprsmusic for EF's annual charity concert!
Cya there!

I'd like to go to #eurofurence this year but am looking for a roomie who either has a room in the Radisson Blu or want to sign up for one with me.
I'm watching the prices closely and will strike whenever they go low, but it's not a guarantee that they will.
Any volunteers? 😉

Are you stressed? Burned out? On the verge of a nervous breakdown?
We are, too!
Our solution? Adding more stuff to our schedule! Not only we'll be performing the @eurofurence charity show with @FoxAmoore , we're also having our own show! More details to come!

Our collective ability to ignore a threat that is going to trash our civilization & kill billions & billions of us is the most horrifyingly astonishing feat in the history of our species.

The media love the Olympics.
And now, thanks to their inability to tell the truth & pressure politicians to act on the most important event in the history of our species, at best we’ve likely got another 4 or 5 Olympics left.

The fandom mourns the loss of Dragoneer. Through FurAffinity Dragoneer gave many of us a home from which we built our community.
The entire EF team salutes his memory. Our condolences to his family, friends and all who knew him.
Dragoneer. ∞ You were here.

AMOC are the four most important letters in my life.
Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the main ocean current system in the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists are predicting its collapse.
That means the UK would cool by an average of 10°C and Norway by 15°C. A new ice age.
As much as half of the world’s viable area for growing corn and wheat could dry out.
Even if we truly understood even a little of what is at stake, we would be spending days unable to speak - traumatised by horror and terror.
And then we would know what we are going to be doing for the rest of our lives. Doing whatever it takes to stop this from happening.
Yet another study — this one using observational data — puts AMOC collapse at mid-century on our current emissions path. Jesus fucking Christ.
End fossil fuels now!

The fact I’ve never seen a journalist ask a politician about this unprecedented & imminent threat that will wipe out our civilization & kill billions & billions of people blows my fucking mind.
The media is the problem.

#Falschparken auf Radwegen ist kein Kavaliersdelikt, da es Radfahrer behindert oder gefährdet. "Für viele komme der Lerneffekt wohl erst mit der Anzeige." Deshalb @weg_li!
